Shutter speed dial switch is located on the rear panel and there are 16 different positions.  To 
select camera gain, reference, or to save a user page, set NS/DS switch to NS position.  To adjust 

shutter speed, set NS/DS to DS position.  For normal shutter speed, make sure to set NM/AM mode 
to NM location.  For asynchronous capture, set NM/AM mode to AM location.
